John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, My
peace I give unto you.”
Peace is a difficult thing to hold onto
during this current period of time. The tempest rages all around us both globally
and personally. I know that once I grab onto a bit of peace, a squall will come
and knock me beneath the raging waters again. Alas, this peace is not one that endures,
for that is only found in my God. When I
am being pulled under by worry or distress, I reach out and find Jesus’ hand is
lifting me up, and I find peace on the shore once again. When unrest happens,
Chambers encourages, “Then look up and receive the undisturbedness of the Lord
Jesus.” I love that Jesus is Peace as everything is erupting all around me. His
undisturbedness is almighty, and is shaken by no person or situation; He freely
and lovingly gives me the peace that passes all understanding when I focus on
Him and not the whirlwind around me. I cry out in the storm, my tears mixing
with the rain that falls, I call out to my Savior, and I hear “Do you trust me?
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you.” Amazing grace.
There is no room for worry in my
relationship with my Savior. The more my eyes are focused on Jesus, the more
peace will invade my soul, and keep me from being ravaged by the tempest.
Hope Darst – Peace Be Still
